It doesn't seem so fair if you didn't know that in advance. I don't do research on what actual costs a provider I sign up with has, and whether a product might be subsidized in some way. If I relied on those 20TB a month I now got a 100 to 400% price increase.

I really like hetzner and their service quality, but that does leave a bad taste... I seems like they badly miscalculated.

Well, a month ago they did not know that insane tariffs are going to exist suddenly. They are telling this pretty much as soon as they could.

There are no tariffs yet until January, and they don’t apply to Germany, anyway. This has nothing to do with tariffs.

This increase only affects the US regions, so it very likely is in preparation for additional tariffs.

They are telling in advance: changes are effective from February for old contracts.

If the location (USA) is key, then fair enough but if not, just buy one of their dedicated servers and get unlimited[1] traffic.

Only outgoing external traffic is counted.
